[southbendlathe] Well, I found the "test piece" of 303 I thought I'd lost...

 

Oh, and thanks for all the help... I'm slowly figuring my way around the controls, and figuring workarounds to how I was used to doing things...

Of course, I'm off to the tooling store tomorrow, because I just basically welded a Chinese letter-size twist drill into a piece of 303 that was sitting amongst the very similar looking chunks of stressproof... Thought things felt odd, looked, and it was glowing... 1400 rpm, and I'd dipped it in straight trim sol before I shoved the chuck's taper in the tailstock... Anyone have any recommendations for twist drills, preferably stub, for 303? That was going to be a future project, but what the heck...
